Marshall Willen Speaker Specs

Music buffs want to take their music everywhere with them, and sometimes headphones just won’t do it for you. The Marshall Willen speaker is a perfect companion for a trip to the beach or a day hiking with friends. You don’t have to sacrifice music quality or lug around a heavy boombox. As a result, the Marshall Willen speaker is a perfect solution for those on the go.

Size, Price, and Features

The tiny speaker really packs a punch with one 2’’ full-range driver and two passive radiators. Fans have come to expect deep bass and dynamic sound from Marshall devices, and the Willen speaker delivers on all levels.
Marshall has included IP67 dust- and water resistance, so you can take the portable speaker anywhere. In addition, the impressive battery lets you play for 15+ hours straight on one charge.
The design of Marshall equipment is very iconic and resembles old-style stereo equipment of the past. However, don’t let that fool you; the Willen is equipped with a rugged exterior case to withstand any environment and high-end electronics to deliver the best sound quality.
The box comes with a mounting strap, charging cord (USB-C), and the speaker, and you can pick one up for $120 online or at an electronics store. The Willen speaker also comes with a built-in microphone so you can answer calls and use hands-free commands seamlessly. The unit also has control knobs on the front for quick and easy access.
The portable speaker easily pairs with any Bluetooth device. Eco-friendly fans will appreciate that 60% of the housing is made from recycled materials.
Marshall has also included an app with an impressive equalizer to customize the sound to make the Willen experience your own. If you pair more than one Marshall Willen speaker, you can use Stack Mode to enhance the sound further, creating a dynamic surround-sound environment. The speaker comes in two colors, Black and Brass Cream.
The only negative of the Marshall Willen speaker is that it is Bluetooth 5.1 only, meaning you cannot connect it using a wire, and it does not connect via Wi-Fi.

Marshall Speaker Warranty Thoughts

Taking your music on the go is great, but it can also result in accidental damage. Speakers contain delicate electronic parts and Bluetooth technology that may falter if dropped or exposed to water and outside elements. For example, if you get dirt or dust in the mesh frame, it may damage the components.
The Marshall Willen comes with a limited manufacturer’s warranty. However, as with most limited warranties, the Marshall speaker warranty mainly covers manufacturing defects. And unfortunately, the limited warranty rarely offers enough protection. If you take your portable speaker everywhere and use it extensively, the chances of accidentally damaging it increase a lot.
Thankfully, Upsie offers the best portable speaker warranty around. Upsie has coverage for accidental damage due to spills, cracks, drops, and water damage. In addition, Upsie’s warranties protect against electronic failure, speaker failure, and even manufacturing defects.
Best of all, Upsie’s premium warranties cost up to 70% less than warranties from retailers and manufacturers. As a result, customers get the best protection at the best price. For example, a two-year Upsie warranty for Marshall’s Willen costs just $18.99.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your brand new Marshall Willen high-end speaker is protected with Upsie, and you can take your tunes with you wherever you go!
